Get your Free MacExpo ticket now!There's only 5000 of them. After that you'll have to pay £12 on the door. I haven't been to an Expo for a few years, so I've yet to see it at Olympia. I've had some business cards printed especially, so I can enter all those 'first out of the hat' competitions. I won a Macally Airstick once...gave it to my brother.

Perhaps this will force Apple to update Aperture so it can be a Photoshop contender?
